Spatial Discrete Event Simulation (SpaDES)

Develop and run spatially explicit discrete event simulation models

Metapackage for implementing a variety of event-based models, with a focus on spatially explicit models. These include raster-based, event-based, and agent-based models. The core simulation components (provided by SpaDES.core) are built upon a discrete event simulation (DES) framework that facilitates modularity, and easily enables the user to include additional functionality by running user-built simulation modules (see also SpaDES.tools). Included are numerous tools to visualize rasters and other maps (via quickPlot), and caching methods for reproducible simulations (via reproducible). Additional functionality is provided by the SpaDES.addins and SpaDES.shiny packages.

Reporting bugs

The SpaDES metapackage simply loads a number of other packages from the SpaDES ecosystem. Bug reports should be reported to the specific package in question rather than the metapackage. Contact us via the package’s GitHub site:
